About
Jacquelyn Schmidt is a leading researcher at the intersection of urban climate adaptation and smart infrastructure. Her work focuses on how data-driven technologies can make aging city systems more resilient to intensifying weather events. In her most-cited paper, "Climate Resiliency Through Data: Managing Stormwater Sewers in Detroit" (2022), Schmidt examines Detroit’s pioneering use of sensors, robotics, and advanced algorithms to modernize its sewer infrastructure. This research directly addresses the critical challenge of combined sewer overflows and widespread flooding caused by climate change, offering a replicable model for post-industrial cities. While her citation count is still growing, her contribution is notable for its immediate practical impact on municipal policy and engineering practices. Schmidt’s work bridges the gap between theoretical climate science and on-the-ground urban management, demonstrating how real-time data can transform reactive maintenance into proactive, resilient operations. Her research is essential reading for students and practitioners interested in the future of climate-adaptive cities.
